The Status

AbstractThe Aschistodesmini from the Solomon Island are reviewed. Besides clarifying notes on the status of the type and closely related species of Aschistodesmus, descriptive notes and illustrations of the gonopods of the Solomon species of this genus, particularly of those published by Chamberlin, 1920, under the generic name of Solomonosoma, are given. Two new species, A. spatulifer and A. tridentifer are described, and a key to the species is provided. From Rennell Island Dorcadogonus modestus gen. n., sp. n. is described.

G Protein Coupled

A point mutation in the MC1R gene, a G-protein-coupled receptor, has been found that could have led to the formation of two subspecies of Solomon Island flycatcher from a single ancestral population. I discuss the many roles that G-protein-coupled receptors play in vertebrate physiology and how one particular point mutation can have enormous evolutionary consequences.

The Impact

Worldwide electronic waste items have grown as product life has become shorter. The electronic products are e-waste and end up in rubbish dumps and recycling centers, posing a threat to the environment. The e-waste disposal methods adopted by Pacific island countries (PICs) are inadequate. The Solomon Island (SI) is one of the PICs and does not have a sustainable solution. The purpose of this article is to develop a framework for sustainable e-waste management campaign based on a project management framework incorporating stakeholder, risk, time, and public awareness and people management. A macro project management risk model is constructed to implement an e-waste awareness education program and assist PICs policy makers to successfully launch e-waste management program. It is shown in this work how an e-waste project management awareness program can work for SI. The important factors to be controlled for successful e-awareness program are identified with a project risk management framework. The impact, failure, and consequences of the e-waste awareness campaign are quantified. This article also provides a review of the e-waste awareness in Pacific island countries and puts forward a pan to mitigate the e-waste problem in IS. The e‐wastes in SI are unwanted electronic equipment and electrical appliances which reached its end of life and does not function as it was planned. The toxic elements within e-waste contaminate the water, land, and air. The SI does not have enough resources and technical capacity to recycle e-waste. Appropriate management and disposal of e‐waste is essential as the long-standing shield for the protection of SI and regional PICs environments. The aim is to maintain long‐term regional sustainability. The adoption of national e‐waste management policies will safeguard the movement recycling and disposal of e‐waste in a controlled manner through the Basel and Waigani convention protocols. The study designs a new paradigm for solving e-waste management issues is PICs using a project management approach, focusing on risk management, risk impact, organizational design with communication plan, and human interaction.

Abstract Background The ecology of many mosquitoes, including Anopheles farauti, the dominant malaria vector in the southwest Pacific including the Solomon Islands, remains inadequately understood. Studies to map fine scale vector distributions are biased when trapping techniques use lures that will influence the natural movements of mosquitoes by attracting them to traps. However, passive collection methods allow the detailed natural distributions of vector populations by sex and physiological states to be revealed. Methods The barrier screen, a passive mosquito collection method along with human landing catches were used to record An. farauti distributions over time and space in two Solomon Island villages from May 2016 to July 2017. Results Temporal and spatial distributions of over 15,000 mosquitoes, including males as well as unfed, host seeking, blood-fed, non-blood fed and gravid females were mapped. These spatial and temporal patterns varied by species, sex and physiological state. Sugar-fed An. farauti were mostly collected between 10–20 m away from houses with peak activity from 18:00 to 19:00 h. Male An. farauti were mostly collected greater than 20 m from houses with peak activity from 19:00 to 20:00 h. Conclusions Anopheles farauti subpopulations, as defined by physiological state and sex, are heterogeneously distributed in Solomon Island villages. Understanding the basis for these observed heterogeneities will lead to more accurate surveillance of mosquitoes and will enable spatial targeting of interventions for greater efficiency and effectiveness of vector control.
